Jimmy Johnson puts together the perfect Dolphins team for '99 Including ex-Tech linebacker Zacky boy, The only professional football player ever from Tech. The only thing he's missing is a good quarterback to replace the injured Dan Marino. He has scouted all the colleges, and even the high schools, but can't seem to find a quarterback to ensure a Super Bowl win. Then one night, while watching CNN, he sees a war zone in Kosovo In the background, out of the corner of his eye, he spots a young Kosovar soldier with an incredible arm. First, he throws a hand grenade straight into a 15th story window over 200 yards away - KA-BOOM! Next, he throws another hand grenade into a group of about 10 soldiers a good 110 yards away. KA-BLOOEY! Then, a car passes going 90 miles an hour. Bulls-eye! Another grenade right into the barely open window. "I' ve got to get this guy," Jimmy says to himself. "He has the perfect arm!" So he brings the guy to the states and teaches him the game of football. The young man breaks all NFL records for completed passes, accuracy, and touchdowns. The Dolphins go on to handily win the Super Bowl XXXVI and when Jimmy asks him what he wants, all the young man wants to do is phone his mom. Jimmy arranges for the call and hands the phone to his young quarterback. "Mom!" he says, all excited. "Mom, I just won the Super Bowl!" "I don't want to talk to you," she replies. "You betrayed us. You're no longer my son." "Mom," the young man pleads. "I just won the greatest sporting event in the world!" "No, let ME tell YOU, Mr. Smartypants," the mother scolds. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and this week your sister was attacked in broad daylight " The old lady pauses, in tears. "I'll never forgive you for moving us to Miami."
